"And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'¿n from every [kind of] example that they might remember." -The Qur'¿n, Az-Zumar/39:27 "Whatever is written about the ¿y¿t, and from the point of view of guidance by the Holy Qur'¿n,...should not be counted as the final intent of the Holy Qur'an. Thus, I found the title and name 'A Ray of the Qur'¿n' suitable for it." -Sayyed Mahmoud Taleghani "Taleghani chose his addressees among university students from various areas of studies of science instead of seminary students. Speaking with the language of the time-the language of the new sciences and new ways of learning- he tried to bring the Qur'¿n to the scene of action and living, making it the guide to both the individual and societal lives of people." -Abdolali Bazargan "This is a very original and important book, and a welcome addition to the contemporary scholarship in the field of Islamic Studies in general and Qur'¿nic Studies in particular... by one of the most eminent religious scholars...who was also a relentless... advocate for justice and...freedom." -Mohammad H. Faghfoory "It is not possible to overstate the importance of this translation of the invaluable, awe-inspiring and cogent contribution to understanding the causes of and solutions to the problems of human societies." -Abbas Mirakhor
